I tried some JavaScript bookmarks (that supposedly enable the browser to go fullscreen) but they don't seem to work with Chrome. When I open Chrome on OSX it doesn't take up the full-screen (unless I do Cmd-Shift-F). Anyone know a work around besides dragging the bottom right corner to the full width of the screen?

F11 works in windows, not sure about on OS X but I imagine it will be the same – Crippledsmurf Jan 18 '11 at 15:52
Yeah, I'm looking more like the Maximize button in Windows. On OSX it only makes the window larger, but doesn't take a full screen approach. F11 on OSX brings up a different menu. – Valien Jan 18 '11 at 16:29
Right Zoom is an excellent solution. – Tom Stephens Jan 19 '11 at 3:49

For Google Chrome, shift-click the Zoom button (the green window button). It will resize the window to use all available space.

Go to the Help menu. In the search box at the top, type Full Screen.

The top hit will be a menu item; if you hover over it, OS X will pop up the View menu to show you the Enter Full Screen menu item, and you'll see that the keyboard shortcut is shift-command-f
